What is the Balance Reporter?
Flow quantities should increase as you progress farther downstream
in a sewer system. Therefore, downstream monitoring points should
experience a greater amount of flow than the upstream monitoring
points in the same line. This is the flow balancing concept. The
Balance Reporter is a Profile tool that allows you to generate
balance reports comparing the flow totals for a downstream
monitoring point to a composite of all upstream and overflow
monitoring points.
Common terms used in the Balance Reporter include the
following:
Schematic Schematics are maps that define the upstream and
overflow monitoring points associated with a downstream
monitoring point.
Downstream Monitoring Point A downstream monitoring
point is the currently selected monitoring point for which you are
developing the balance reports.
Composite A composite is the sum of all upstream monitoring
points minus the sum of the overflow monitoring points.
Composites are developed using information from schematics.
Compare the composite flows to downstream flow during flow
balancing.
Upstream Monitoring Point An upstream monitoring point is a
monitoring point located upstream of and flowing into the currently
selected downstream monitoring point. Flows from these
monitoring points will be added to the Composite.
Overflow Monitoring Point Overflow monitoring points are
those monitoring points located upstream of, but whose flows do
not flow through, the currently selected downstream monitoring
point. Flows from these monitoring points will be subtracted from
the Composite.
